Blank VPN Status Page

[garycnew]

All:

I'm in the process of migrating my VPN Clients to Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.8_4. I have found that even though the VPN Clients show connected, on the VPN Clients Page, the VPN Status Page is often Blank.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks, again.

All:

It appears I may have to rely on the command-line to check vpn client stats, as I've had to do with dhcp client leases.

# cat /etc/openvpn/client1/status 
REMOTE,###.###.###.###:###,Static_Key
OpenVPN STATISTICS
Updated,2025-02-24 21:31:43
TUN/TAP read bytes,68
TUN/TAP write bytes,60
TCP/UDP read bytes,15897
TCP/UDP write bytes,6517
Auth read bytes,1164
END

# cat /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases

I never ran into issues with the VPN Status Page on firmware 384. It's interesting how things evolve and devolve over time.

Respectfully,


Gary

A suggestion. Post a screen capture (redacting sensitive information) of what you are seeing so others have some context. Also post up your router model as well for more context.

As a troubleshooting step, have you tried a different web browser on a different computer/device?

Nope, it should work fine.

Running Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.8_4 on an Asus GT-AXE11000. I've tried a couple of different browsers. Safari has a Blank VPN Status Page less often than Firefox, but both browsers have a Blank VPN Status Page more than they do not. This is at the same time client1/status reports active statistics.

As with most web page rendering issues, check your browser developer console for errors from the page. Also try browsing directly to the ajax page that provides the status fields to look for any unusual output.

My status file includes compression stats. Maybe that's the issue?

# cat /etc/openvpn/client1/status

EDIT: Looking at the source code that shouldn't make a difference.
